On lots this dense, half the fences touch a property line. We pull them clean — after you and the neighbor agree whose fence it is.

In Ridgefield, this work runs from Florida Hill out to Branchville and West Mountain.

The county fence catalog runs deep: stockade gone gray and leaning after decades of nor'easters, chain link with a bittersweet vine for every foot of fabric, vinyl privacy runs that outlived their whiteness two owners ago. On lots this dense, most of them stand on or near a property line — so settle whose fence it is with the neighbor before we arrive, because that's the one part of the job we can't do from the truck. Once that's clear, everything goes: panels, rails, gates, hardware, and the posts with their concrete, holes backfilled behind them.

Routing around the Merritt

Every Fairfield County dispatch starts with the same routing fact: the Merritt Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles, so our trucks take I-95 along the coast or Route 7 and Route 8 inland. It's built into how we schedule the county — your job, our routing problem — and the drive runs roughly 30–75 minutes from our Stamford and West Haven yards depending on your corner of the county.

Fence lines here are back-of-lot work on tight streets, so the truck usually stages in the driveway or at the curb while the crew works the line on foot. Pulled posts, rolled fabric, and stacked panels all carry out to the truck — a short walk on most lots, measured at the walkthrough where it isn't.

What we take

Wood, vinyl, and chain-link runs, gates and hardware included; poured curbing under a run is clean-fill work we'll point you to instead.

Fence Removal in Ridgefield — questions we actually get

Where does an old fence end up?
Chain-link is the honest recycling story — fabric, rails, and posts all go out as scrap metal. Vinyl goes as bulky waste; there's no meaningful recycling stream for weathered PVC fence. Old wood stockade is C&D, and pressure-treated posts follow the same no-burn rule as deck lumber.
Anything I should do before the crew gets there?
Walk the line once. Flag anything buried along it — irrigation heads, buried dog-fence wire, landscape lighting runs — because a post plug coming up doesn't know the difference between dirt and your sprinkler main. Unlock the gates and move anything leaning against the fence. That's the whole list.
Can you remove just a section of fence?
Yes. Partial runs, one bad stretch, the back line only — the quote follows the footage and the material, not a minimum fence count.
Can you time the removal with my new fence install?
That's the normal way it goes — old fence out a day or two before the installer arrives, so the yard isn't open any longer than it has to be. Give us the install date and we'll work backward from it. If you've got dogs, say so at booking and we'll talk through the gap window honestly.
Wood versus chain-link versus vinyl — which is harder?
Chain-link is fastest — fabric rolls up, rails unbolt. Vinyl comes apart clean but bulks up the load. Old wood stockade is the heaviest and the most likely to fight, especially where posts have rotted at grade and the run is leaning.
Why can't your trucks just take the Merritt?
Because the parkway bans commercial vehicles — it's a hard rule, not a preference, and every hauler working this county lives with it. Our trucks run I-95 or come down Route 7 or Route 8 instead. It's already baked into our Fairfield County scheduling, so it doesn't change your quote or your booking window; it's just why the truck arrives from the direction it does.
The fence between us and the neighbor is falling down and nobody remembers who built it. Now what?
Talk first, then call us. A boundary fence with unclear ownership is a conversation — or occasionally a property survey — between you and the neighbor, and it has to happen before removal, because we can't referee it from the truck. The good news: in our experience most neighbors are delighted to split the cost of removing an eyesore both of them have been staring at. Once you're agreed, the removal itself is routine.
What does it cost to dump fence removal debris at the Ridgefield transfer station?
Ridgefield publishes C&D: $.10 cents per lb. (resident-permit rate, fee schedule as of July 1, 2025; MSW and scrap metal $.05 cents per lb., brush $.08 cents per lb.; non-residents pay $.10 cents per lb. for all material types) for residential construction and demolition material at Ridgefield Transfer Station. That's the do-it-yourself route; on our jobs the debris rides out in the can that's already on site, weighed once and billed at our posted rates.
Do I need a permit to use the Ridgefield transfer station?
Yes — Ridgefield requires a resident permit for station access, per the town's posted rules. Factor the permit into any DIY disposal math; our trucks don't need one because we don't use the resident line.
When is the Ridgefield transfer station open?
The town posts Monday – Saturday, 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.. Holiday closures apply — check the town's page before you load, or skip the trip entirely and let the can take the schedule problem off your plate.
